DRESS AFFECTING MOODS

Mrs. Bishop, in the _Chautauqua Herald_, says:

It may never have occurred to some of you that dress has any

reactionary influence upon the inner states, but so potent is

this influence that frequently we can change the mental states

by a change of dress. When tired, gloomy or fretful, a change in

apparel often means a change in mood. Many actors say that to be

drest for the part is a great help toward feeling the part. An

army general once declared that he could not fight without his

uniform, that an ordinary hat and coat took all the courage out

of him.

(822)
